Patented Apr. 9, 1935 a a "invention relates to, improvements' "in dumping vehicle of the form comprising a pail such as is used "by children playing 'inthe sand at the seashore, and' the object cf my' iinprove- "5 ,me'ht is toequ-ip such apail, which is intheform of a Vertically elongated tin pail such as is in common use, with means for permitting dumping the; same of its load of sand *orthe like and with meansfor effecting" such dumping in the form of a Windlass.

In the accompanying drawing:- Figure 1 is a side elevation dumping vehicle. 7 7 Fig.2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the same.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view as viewed from the inside of the frame structure adjacent the axle, the latter being shown in section.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the Windlass. '30 My improved dumping vehicle comprises a pail or bucket ID in the form of a tin pail structure such as is in common use at seashorebeaches but in lieu of the usual wire bail in openings ll near the top of the side wall I2 I provide diminu- 25 tive bearing supports l3 entering said openings ll. Said bearing supports 13 maybe in the form of rivets secured at the upper ends of a pair of main uprights N that project'upwardly from the axle l5 and that form parts, of a frame 30 I6. Wheels H are provided at the ends oftheaxle l5. s i v The uprights M respectively are located just inside the wheels H and their lower ends l8 are perforated for admitting the axle l5.

Opposed to the inside faces of said lower ends l8 are the downwardly directed branches of a yoke l9, said branches 29 depending from the ends of a cross bar 2!. Said branches are likewise perforatedfor the axle l5.

i all Just above the axle l5, oneach side of the vehicle, are provided the connections for a trailing part 22 that, as shown, consists of two mem bers 23 that are connected at their rear ends '24 by means of rivets 25 with a handle 26 that 45 may be of wood. The forward ends 21 of the,

of my improved structure as a whole, including rocking on the 3 s forthe'axle'15 at ureq-wer point; each case-a single rivet sumees" to effect thepositive positioning of theuprigl'its individually relatively' to the yoke. j

This same single rivet on "eachside'likewise 5 servesqtc pcsitivelyefieetthe}positioning-entire particular handle trailing" part-{22 with which it is associated, aswill benot-ed by inspect-loner Fig. 4'; j'Said yokeamr trailing part are made of sheet metal and the trailing part is of such width 10 that its upper edge is in abutment with the under face of the cross bar 2|.

That is to say, the uprights, yoke, and handle trailing parts and the axle are constructed and arranged so that they are operatively secured 15 together and positively positioned relatively one to the other by means of arsingle rivet on each of the two sides.

, The two trailing part members 23 have the 7 rear ends 24 1 relatively close together, being 20' separated merely by the thickness of theportion ,from pivotal supports such as to permit of readily tilting the pail for dumping sand or water a that may be loaded therein, such tilting being 30 efiected by directly engaging the pail. Otherwise, the pail with itsload will be maintained in a pendant position due to the weight of the load, notwithstanding any and all movements of the wheels as the handle is raised and lowered.

Manual means for-tilting the pail may be provided in the form of a windlass 30 upon the frame connected to the pail ID by means of an operating cable or cord 3|, v

VThe forward end of the cord 3lis connected to the (pail III at the forward bottom edge 32 thereof and as it extends rearwardly the cord rises to a height that is sufficiently elevated to single piece of wire of relatively large diameter A E PQFH E;

4 by theperfdrati that is bent to provide the shaft 33, crank 31,

and handle 38 and which utilizes the shaft 33 spondingly elongated. This arrangement permits of efiecting the dumping of the bucket or pail by means of the cable orcord 3| by having the latter' attached to the bucket structure, as shown, at the forward edge of the bottom 32 and at the junction of said bottom with the side wall.v That is to say, it is not necessary to carry the cord up from the bottom to some relatively elevated point above the bottom.

I claim as my invention: 7 '1. A dumping vehicle comprising a two-whee supported frame, uprights from said frame arranged as a front pair and a rear pair in spaced arrangement along said frame, a pail operatively supported from the upper ends of said front pair and a windlass operatively supported from the upper ends of said rear pair, and a dumpingcord extending from said Windlass forwardly along the-bottom of said pail and connected to 2,- A dumping vehicle as describedin claim 1,

the forward edge thereof, at the junction with the sidewall of the pail.

said frame comprising a yoke that extends between the said front pair of uprights, the frame supporting means comprising an axle, said yoke and the respective uprights having'overlapping portions, and said overlapping portions being operatively connected by means of a single rivet in cooperation with perforations for admitting said axle.

3. A dumping vehicle as described in claim 1,

said frame comprising a yoke, a handle element,v

parts of said handleelement, of said yoke, and,

of one of said uprights generally overlapping one another, and, a single rivet securing said parts. V

we 4. A dumping vehicle comprising an axle with wheels at the ends, spaced uprights mounted on said axle by means of openings in the lower ends, a pail supportedby the upper ends of said up.- rights, a yoke having a cross-bar that extends across the'space between said uprights, upwardly spaced from said axle, and having downwardly directed branches that extend alongside said uprights, a handle structure having a pair of handle elements that enter the space between said cross-bar and axle and that are respectively opposed to said branches, and means securing the respective uprights with the, adjacent branches and handle elements.
